Dermatitis Secondary to Exposure to Nickel and Fragrance at Workplace: A Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Current Science Research and Review - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 04
Abstract
Allergic contact dermatitis may be caused by exposure to chemicals. The skin usually develops type IV sensitivity where the initial sensitization may occur a few days but it may take years to develop in low grade exposure to these allergens. In the present study, the patient sustained the disorder through exposure to nickel sulfate, balsam of Peru and a fragrance mix which was confirmed by conducting a Patch test. The initial patient’s Investigator’s Global Assessment, Eczema Area and Severity Index, Dermatology Life Quality Index and Patient-oriented Eczema Measure scores were 3, 9.6, 6 and 14, respectively and improved to 1, 0.6, 1 and 1, respectively after two months of intervention. Good occupational hygiene is vital such as wearing polyvinyl chloride gloves to avoid nickel contact and effective handwashing practices to prevent nickel buildup on the hands. Avoidance of contact of fragrances in cleaning products averts contact dermatitis.
